When Recorder John P. Mull sent Elzie Grigg to the chain gang for nine months at court Saturday, he created a new record for the county, that of having four brothers serving terms on the county gang at the same time.
Elzie Grigg was charged with receiving and possessing and retailing. The three other brothers already on the gang were sent there on charges centering around liquor as was the fourth brother Saturday. The Griggs heretofore resided in the Eastside section of Shelby and the names other three brothers on the gang before Elzie was sent are: Odel, Marvin and Raymond.
